Nevada's New Railroad.

The Northwestern Roilroad Company's
line to the Pacific Coast is now completed
to Thompson, Wyoming Territory, and a
large force is at work west of that place.
The road is located to Ross Fork, Idaho Ter
ritery. 1t is said upon good authority that
the road will cross the Sierra Nevada thro ugh
Beckwith Pass. between which the Ross
Fork near Winnemucca lies IN direct line,
and it is probable that the road will pass
through Quinn River Valley, or possibly
come to Winnemucca to secure the benefit
of the Act of the last Legislature exempt,
ing proposed railroad from taxation to the
extent of $4,000 or $3,o per mile. The
subsidy already granted will be sufficient to
grade the road through Humboldt county,
which ought to be great inducement to the
Northwestern to come that way, especially
as it is the most direct route from Ross F-rk
to Beckwith Pass.

Reno Has One.

Some time ago Carson had quite an ex.
element over rape case which did not prove
to be rape case. Reno is little behind time
but she gets there all the same, and a little
harder even than Carson. A negro named
Henderson has been arrested for raping IS =
year old white girl named Jose. The girl
says the crime was committed last June and
that Henderson gained entrance to her room
in the night, after she had retired, by lad =
der. She also says that he made FIVE or six
visits in two or three weeks and that she was
afraid to tell about it for fear the negro
would kill her. Her story is hardly to be
credited, as there were persons sleeping in
the next room, and single GU tory from the
girl or the least noise made in resistance
would have caused an alarm. The act was
probably committed with her consent. The
negro should, however, receive the full pen.
atty of the law and the girl should be sent
to the re form school until she learns better
than to keep the company of niggers.

A Lively Camp.

Virginia City is to-day the liveliest camp
on the Pacific Coast. People have left the
old camp and wandered around through Ar.
iona, Mexico, Central America, Idaho, Mon
tana and California, and, failing to better
their condition, returned to their old stamp
ing ground. For the past two years, up to
within three months, it seemed as if the bot :
tom had dropped out Of the old camp.
Houses were being sold for mere songs, and
even given away. Now, things are changed.
New buildings are being erected and old ones
repaired, nearly everybody who will work
has good job and there is an expression of
thrift and contentment upon the faces of both
business and iaboring men. All this change
has taken place since Mackay and Fair have
resumed the management Of affairs on the
Comstock. Tho people Of that place have
cause to rejoice this Christmas for the i'm
prevement of things generally in the camp;
and not only will that place be benefited
but our own little town will feel the pros
perity also. Virginia is not dead by any
means, as outsiders will find out by visiting
the place. The revival of better times is
not noticed by her own people SO much, prob
ably, as it is by occasional visitors, but it is
coming, and we trust will stay for some time.

SAM SMALL'S BROTHER.

Two women's Experiences.
"S,m Small Evangelist %

''Sam Small, Evangelist"
The proverbial philosophy of cold ST."
The venerable plantation darkey, who
gave to the world through the medium OF
Smail's pen maxims OF worldly wisdom,
clothed in verbiage of irresistible hu-
NOR, has found permanent place in hui
morous literature.
Great surprise was shown when it was
announced that he, having been con-
verted under the ministrations of "Sam
JONES'" would become an evangelist.
At first thought, a humorist in the pull
pit seems incongruous. Is itreally 80?
No doubt the mere buffoon attempting
20 turn mems hearts to solemn truths
would meet with only contempt. But
truth is not hidden in gloom. Genuine
humor frequently illustrates and fastens
In the mind bits of wisdom that would
otherwise pass UNDECIDED.
In his eulogy of Henry Ward Reecher,
Rev. Dr.. Parker says: Whenever he
came among men, he brought June sun
shine and music, and made even de-
spending and surly men feel that fuller
and warmer summer, the Kingdom of
Heaven, itself was at hand" That is
genial christianity.
Mr.. Small belongs to a witty family.
He has brother connected with Annoy
Knox's and "Fat Contributors" Terds
Stttings, q paper which has had phenom-
email success in the field of humorous
literature. Mr.. Frank A. Small is the pre-
sent representative of that popular pa
per in England, and, like his distinguish
ed brother, he takes deep interest in
the welfare of other people.

about America Professor Williams re-
marked that Warmers safe cure had been
of great benefit to his wife, who had been
much troubled with q disordered liver.
Warmers safe cure Gan American prepar-
atom was all she had taken, and she
had experienced none of her old trouble
Tor some months past.
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, editor of
New York Dress, and very popular wo-
man in the fashionable world says in
IN her own magazine for October: "War-
ner's safe cure is the only medicine I
ever take or recommend. In every in
stance it gives new energy and vitality
to all my powers" This distinguished
woman also says that for ladies this
great remedy is peculiarly effective"
Sam Small is likely to succeed as
moral teacher. When we remember
how near together in human nature lie
the fountains of laughter and Of tears,
the deep effect his discourses must have
on the masses can easily be imagined.

ablaze, and stove and all are blown in air to
serve this stupid craze. With clothes on fire
and tortured limbs cook is cooked in
deed, but a certain cure in such a case Is
the real friend in need. For burns and
scalds and blisters too, it cures them to
perfection but be sure to use it eveW time
in accordance with direction. Yes,
strictly in accordance with directions.
Scores of people daily brought in con-
tact with heat, steam, boiling water and
combustibles are hourly injured by some
mishap in the nature of O burn or scald,
and thousands have been cured of such
by the best known remedy for the cure OF
pain. The principle of how it works ex-
plains itself 1t acts as a counter irritant
on the surface injured, gently drawing out
the heat caused by the burn, while it
soothes the pain, helping nature in the
healing process, and a cure follows. 1t Is
o specific for pains of this kind and should
be kept handy where fire and steam are.
But as q precaution to its use where
serious burns or scalds occur, and that
suffering may not be intensified through
ignorance, read carefully directions for its
use accompanying every bottle. Thou
sands who testify to being cured of burns
and scalds have been so guided, and praise
without stint its virtues by which they
have been cured. "Gilbertville, Black

FIRE.
Another Close Call for the Town
The POstOfiice burned.


Last Tuesday morning the people OF Day.
ton were aroused about $500 by the clang Of
the 6re.bell and the cry of FIRE. Soon after
the Cinnamon in Chinatown began beating
their gongs. The fire was found to be in the
roof Of the building occupied by Postmaster
| Lothrop as an Office aud store. The alarm
was first given by Ed Maxwell who hap
pened TO be up at the time, and when the
| flames were discovered the fire had gained
much Roadway, covering the whole roof of
the building. The fremen ard hose boys
were out promptly, and in about five minutes
| from the first alarm a stream of water was
on the blaze. 1t was bard to check, however,
as the flames had spread very rapidly, and it
was thought that The building adjoining the
postoffice, owned by Andy Nelson and occu.
pied bv Frank Albrecht the saloon man,
could not be saved nor the building on the
corner. BY good management, however,
the fire was confined to the roof of the post.
Office, and in about fifteen minutes was out.
The boys and men all worked with a will,
and considering the GOODNESS Of the weather
and the start the fire had, did better work
than ever before at a FIRE.
1t was thought at first thai the fire
originated in the postoffice, but on further
examination IN the morning it was found tina
it started in Albrecht's saloon, and had
burned two boards from the floor up to the
ceiling, and when it worked through the
roof the flames were blown by the Sigh,
breeze directly onto the roof of the postofice
Had there been heavy wind it would have
been almost impossible to subdue the fire
and Barton's stable and many other build
lngs would have gone. The loss to the
building, which is owned by Mrs. Godfrey,
of Virginia City, is about 5000, and the loss
sustained by Mr.. LothroP is estimated to be
between $500 and 5000
